The BusinessFlare Academy is a not-for-profit that was created to provide realistic economic development education and training for local government officials, which is focused on understanding successful implementation and outcomes. Too often local governments focus on economic development tactics without a strategy, seemingly throwing things against the wall waiting for something to stick. Through a series of training sessions, one-on-one and organizational retreats, and online webinars, we can provide a base of understanding that helps local governments implement strategies that can improve their local economy and grow their tax base within the limitations of their resources. This training utilizes real-world case studies and includes the following areas: Economic Development 101 for elected officials Leadership for Successful Economic Development Outcomes Economic Development on a Shoestring Market-Based Zoning Attracting Craft Breweries Downtown Safety Branding Your City Cities as Real Estate Developers Funding and Financing Economic Development, including CRAs Managing Entertainment Districts Retail Reality University Partnerships Hospital Partnerships and Health and Wellness Working with School Districts Public Private Partnerships 101 Using Public Private Partnerships to provide public parking
